Last Chance to Help Bring the Founder Institute to Rome

The Founder Institute, the World's Largest Startup Accelerator, is in the final stage of testing for the opening of its newest chapter in Rome for the Spring of 2014.

The testing phase ends Sunday, March 16th, so if you'd like to help bring this great program to Rome, please fill out this formtoday and then spread the word.

The Founder Institute is an early-stage startup accelerator and global launch network that, in just over four years of operation, has helped launch over 1000 companies across 55 cities and six continents. Through our part-time program, existing and prospective founders can launch their dream company with expert training, feedback, and support from experienced startup CEOs - while not being required to quit their day job.

Leading the Founder Institute’s efforts in Rome are locals Gabriele Valli and Luca Davoli. Gabriele is the CEO of Katalys, a Rome-based firm that specialized in IT solutions for public administrations, while Luca is the General Manager at the same firm.

In this intensive, four month program, aspiring technology founders will "learn by doing" and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. The Founder Institute is open to anybody that is passionate about building a technology company: idea or no idea, full-time job or unemployed, young or old, male or female, experienced in business or straight out of school.

The Founder Institute is the world's largest entrepreneur training and startup launch program, helping aspiring founders across the globe build enduring technology companies. Based in Silicon Valley and with chapters across 50 countries, the Founder Institute has helped launch over 1,563 companies in 5 years. The company's mission is to "Globalize Silicon Valley" and build sustainable startup ecosystems that will create one million new jobs worldwide.
